1.[B]主旨大意题。本文一开头就提出:关于地理环境对人的影响,研究得还不充分。接下来的每段开头句也都进一步阐述这个观点,如第2段首句和第4段首句,结尾句又提出希望,所以正确答案为B.选项C和D没有全面概括环境和人两方面的因素。选项A完全与文章无关。
2.[A]推理判断题。句中的goodhealth与后面的contributoryfactors告诉读者选项A是正确的。选项B中的thequality是无中生有。选项C中的providebreedingplacesforpests在文中的主语是land。选项D中的character跟水中的矿物质无关。
3.[B]观点态度题。紧接第2段论证环境和健康的关系之后,第3段看似论述环境和个性的关系,举了两种比较典型的环境和性格特征的例子,但是,第4段第1句就把前面的表面现象给否定了,所以此题答案为B。其他三个选项立场都错了。
4.[D]事实细节题。作者在第4段第1句破折号后指出应对地理和气候的影响进行更深人的研究,故选项D正确。
5.[C]事实细节題。第3段第2句表明选项C正确。这两段都提到了人的类型的归纳,第3段中的归纳是正确的,而第4段中的归纳是有待考证的,因此,本题要依据第3段描述的类型做出选择。
